Q. Shopping or not shopping is the question?

Walking through traditional Markets we call Bazaar or Souks in Morocco is one part of discovering the cultural and artistic aspect of the country. Our tour company has taken serious steps after years of studies that some of our customers insist on shopping other feel driven to a tourist trap. We have decided to make souks walk at the end of our walking tour and absolutely after all activities of visiting all historic and cultural sites. This will give you a choice whether to partake in shopping experience or simply tell your tour leader that you prefer to have some free time on your own. He will then help you by facilitating a feasible alternative that will be satisfactory to you during this time of your walking tour. Sarah Tours have identified some shops that are open as tourist traps and ordered our tour leaders never to allow any local guide to take our travelers to these places. There are in contrary coops of women and traditional guilds that sustain minorities and NGOs that work for the benefit of all; not just to enrich some fat cats. On top Sarah Tours devote a percentage of its profit to Responsible Travel Projects, "Zero Plastic Bags", "Clean Water for All" and Don't Touch my Child. Avoid tour companies in Morocco who would tell you they collect commissions from these tourist traps businesses to help clean up the environment or so, if they have anything to clean is their actions and sell you as a commodity to these Bazaars!
